As I mentioned earlier, Avery's cousin Rylie came to visit this weekend. She is very enjoyable to have around. She wants to help in any way that she can with Avery. She is super excited about her baby sister who is "on the way" and wants to practice by helping with Avery. She is now a pro at diaper changing and entertaining. We have kept super busy this weekend with Avery and Rylie. We did lots of baking, went to the mall, got Christmas pictures taken of the two of them, went out to eat, they took a bubble bath together in Mimi and Papa's big tub and we had a slumber party each night. (As for myself, I haven't felt this sleep deprived since I was 9 months pregnant.) Only kidding, we have had a blast.

Avery is now pulling himself up onto tables, his crib, Rylie's trampoline, climbing stairs, the list goes on.



He has made his way up onto Rylie's trampoline. He hasn't mastered the "jumping" thing yet.


Avery and Rylie taking a "bubbly" together. Neither of them were ready to get out.

At the mall. Avery is driving the race car while Rylie holds on for dear life.

Out to dinner.........shy all of a sudden.........not for long, though.

Eventhough Avery has been put to bed for the night, he will go to sleep when he's ready. He's trying to figure out how to open the window shade..........hmmmmm???
